Third Visit To The Beach Brings More Silver

[F350Platinum]

As @Joe D. wrote, "the third time is the charm!"

It was 39 this morning when I got to the beach, but it warmed up fast. I was late for low tide so I was worried that I wouldn't find much, but I started finding old coins and relics right away!

As soon as I walked down to "the spot", I dug this 1913 Barber dime. 🥳 It was like that for the next 3 hours or so, I walked to other spots on the beach and found nothing but clad.

Here's everything old: 

1914 Barber Quarter, Barber dime, 3 Mercury dimes from 1918 to 1941, two Buffalo nickels, and two pre 1960 Jeffersons. 7 wheats, I'm going to tumble them all from my recent visits to get dates.

Got what I think might be an old dog tag, it says "TAX" on it and has a stamped serial number on the back. A garter clasp, a Washington DC bus token, a small lock with engraved initials, a key and a small piece of jewelry with a stone.

Here's the trash, a good portion of it came from looking elsewhere. 

5 more silver coins! So far I've found 10 or so here over the 3 visits.

Thanks JCR,

I found more silver coins this time than  last time, I covered this small area in a few directions today. It's just a small section of the beach that got washed out almost to the road. I went in the water a bit up to the top of my boots but really didn't hear anything, all this stuff seems to have washed down the dry section! 🤔 It's strange but I'll take it. I may return as my relic fields are concrete, but I'll look for a lower tide.

Thanks Lodge, 

Last week I was inland, the ground is difficult to dig and it's getting worse. Usually we get a lot of rain this time of year, but we haven't had any for a month.

The beach still had promise, so I went back today, it's much easier to dig 🤣

Hopefully it will become more seasonable so that I can get back to the farms, but hey, getting relics and old coins from a beach works too!

  I say milk it for all it's worth; or at least till the fields soften up! Be nice to track the source for current, and future reference! Hope it gives up some more, before winter sets in!🍀🥈👍👍

There you go again, digging up some really nice items and not letting someone younger like me have a chance at them. Just kidding and i hope you know that.

You will be getting some good rain this weekend and then a couple of days after that. So good luck and find those lost items.
